It was a beautiful idea when it started,
It hit so hard, I never thought it through.
Leaving the west side of town,
way on up riverside rushing down,
that's the freest moment a city girl knew.
I've got the beauty of the moment,
passed so quickly,
Now the tingle and the chill got me confused.
So as I buckle down, why knuckle you 'round.
Those free moments feel so fare and few.
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
An I can't help myself at all
That's just the way it is
I see you crossing the street,
come and meet me.
Like an image come to mind too long ago.
Well there's a smile across your mouth
those eyes are looking south.
If I could see them what would they let me know?
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
An I can't help myself at all
That's just the way it is
I looked and found them lost and started
I've sown and reeded and plowed the ground once more
I laid my hammer down, wandered this city all around
Ended up on the streets I walked before
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
An I can't help myself at all
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
An I can't help myself at all
That's just the way it is

I heard this song for the first time today... and instantly fell in love with it. Miss Cantrell's hauntingly beautiful voice reaches out and pulls you in. There are no background singers, no over-dubbing, no overwhelming musical accompaniment; just the soft strings of a guitar and that voice. And "that's just the way it is"...
